A duel!

Here we are in the middle of the fight and Diomedes is doing his best job to help fill in for Achilles, but we greatly miss him. He is the heart and soul of the Achaeans. The devastation is large on both sides. We have lost too many men to count. The good news is that the Trojans haven’t been much luckier as we’ve slaughtered quite a few of them too. It seems like everyone in this battle is getting help from gods, but me. It now appears we have the Trojans on their heels.

Hektor has gone to the front of the battle and offered any of the Achaeans to fight him. Menelaus stepped forward, but Agamemnon knew better because Hektor is a much better fighter than Menelaus and we don’t need him to get killed. I stepped forward to take on the challenge along with 8 other men, but everyone knows I'm the guy to fight Hektor with Achilles out. The battle starts and we both missed with our spears, but I drew blood with my lance. As we were about to sword fight, the battle was ended by heralds. We ended the duel and made a pact of friendship. Nestor comes and tells us to have a day for the dead and it’s a good idea so we can bury them. The Trojans came back a day later and offered everything but Helen; however we know it’s time to finish these Trojans off.
